It’s wonderful to be able to log into my Word press account and blog. The long absence was not altogether by choice. Even though so very much has happen since my last blog entry, it was not my intention to be silent for two years!! (During my hiatus, someone even created a blog with an identical name, but that’s a story for another day).
Yes, the economic downturn ( economic bust) was a major factor. As the world went crazy, it became less necessary to blog. Finding a way to keep body and soul together, seemed much more urgent.
However, the primary reason I have been off my site is that I simply could not remember my user name and password.
That’s no big deal? People forget their passwords all the time? Ok. But how many people also forget that they can reset their passwords?! Many old people? Hmmm…..!!!
We all know that younger people tend to take so much for granted. Eat all they want, drink all they can, and not have to worry about gaining weight. They can see license plates from a mile away, they remember everything and so are swift to correct the forgetful.
But when these same younger folks start to clock up the years and begin to remember less, begin to count calories and start to squint to read, old people jokes become less funny.
Getting older is no joke at all. I don’t mean old age, I mean getting there – forties, fifties. That’s when you stop in the middle of your sentence, totally oblivious of the very important point you were about to make. When the names of your Facebook friends don’t ring any bells at all. When you now need your kids to program your phone and those rolls aroung your waist just won’t go away!!
Yep, getting older can be scary, however, with proper preparation, it can also be a blast!! Have fun!!
